hehe ty :)

was at 9/12 for enchants before starting a session of merciless labruns yesterday (target: trap, aura, curse), now I'm just missing the trap enchant. 50 runs total, average of 8 minutes (5min best one, 13min slowest).

I need to wait for a day that has no golden doors to farm that I guess.. just tedious and not really an achievement after you beat the lab 100+ times. today's lab has even two doors.. blergh

and ofcourse Zana is a stretch for guys with full-time employment + RL, but so what ^^ I'll get that lady in red to level 8 nevertheless.

whatcha missing hank? I could chip in with this or that, who knows =)

the effects are lovely indeed, worth all the trouble imo! the sound effect of the perandus portal, right when you start a map, is breath-taking!

Grats on 40!

I think I'm on course for 40 myself albeit at a much slower pace; I got side-tracked into funding 2 other builds (one of which I haven't even started playing yet, LOL) and I hit a bad streak of luck when after tossing Vaal orbs onto 7 of my primary skill gems, not a single one hit level 21 - as a consequence I lost 2ex purchasing a level 21.

Yeah... I'm missing the totem-enchant for a helm to complete the enchant achievement; got tired of running labs though, so that's for another day.

Nice that you finished off Zana so quickly - mine's only about 1/2 way though level 7 and I've been doing rotations since day 2 of the league.

Hi again all

When is it "safe" to do merc lab? Im 84 with 4350 health.

Swear i read something in this post before but i cant find it anymore. Help would be appreciated.

Also what ascendancy does the trickster go after the normal/cruel points are spent?

I was ALMOST able to do it around that level with 3750HP and only 10k tooltip DPS, was relatively easy to do at 3800HP with 12k tooltip DPS and the nodes past Acro and levelled Grace... finally did Argus Merciless at 3900HP, 15k tooltip DPS and more kiting...

NOTE: The roughest thing for me about Izaro was getting comfortable trap-weaving in Phase 3...

Interesting, do you play HC? I am only really fearing Izaro in the trap room myself. The rest i think i can micro. My other fear is that my tooltip damage is only at 7k so ill be in the fight longer than i want to be. I do havea friend that does big damage, that might help.

Very close to being able to afford my bow craft but im struggling to 6-link my maraketh atm..

If it didnt take me so long to level i could grab those extra few life passives.. being in HC i should of done them already tbh.

hey all :) back from the lab-running.

lab thoughts:


lab essentials (unsorted):

the build was extremely fine for this, yet the rng-wheel didn't please me. We are used to RNG, but those enchantments were a new level. I hope they do learn from our feedback.

sales were stale since week 1.5, no biggies since everyone was just cadiro and guardians. I made more currency on challenges, chests and guardians than selling gear. imagine that.

I was lucky enough to find many zanas myself, somehow she appeared to be there more often than I'm used to.

let me know if you need some stuff, will post about some free deals once this week.

final gear


final tree


final thanks


RE: Safe to do lab
some modifiers give the Emperor immense power. like the crit (ice) golem, or the charges. he can oneshot )(my 4.6k hp) with at least 3 abilities when he's in shape:
- glacial cascade thingy (physical)
- the shot where he first turns and 'blows' air towards you
- the green artillery-like stuff
- the slam (similar to dominus' or malachai's), tho I never move in melee range with this guy

Gratz, Chrono =)

ty hank n Ser :)

lmk if you need funds or stuff, even have some of the cards rotting away in stash. won't be online for some days ingame tho, rl-stuff hitting up :)

I'm starting to get annoyed with burning level 20 CA gems in the hopes I get a level 21. If it's supposed to take 6 tries on average, I should have just bought one - I'm at 8 so far. :( If I manage to get enough currency in the bank, I probably will even now.

Anyone else notice they are having problems sustaining a map pool above tier 9 this league? Talisman I had no problems, but this time around I can't even sustain 9s all the time.

I haven't been pushing as hard as I normally do (I'm usually done with all the challenges roughly at this point), so I can't say for sure what mapping's been like this league. I'm playing about 40% less frequently.

That said, I've had no problems staying at T9, but staying T10+ has been more difficult. But, again, 40% less maps run, so that's not necessarily saying anything.

with just alch'n'go, I stayed at 7-9 since I reached them. Selling T10 and T11 after I was done with levelling to 91, I really like most of the 7-9 tier layouts and bosses and the good rolls are possible on rares. Sadly, this didn't help much because even proper rolled life / trires pieces just sold for a couple of chaos / fuses.

I have question about Drillneck.

I didn't do Cruel lab yet, so I using Pierce gem for now. It gives 50% chance for pierce. From skill nodes I have another 40%. Thats 90%. From Drillneck implicit bonus I have 10%, so should have 100%. But skill description only says 90%.

So, is it only visual bug and its 100%, or maybe I should take two additional pierce nodes to get 100%?
